Competition on face recognition in mobile environment using the MOBIO database

In the context of BEAT project ( http://www.beat-eu.org ), the Biometric group at the Idiap Research Institute ( http://www.idiap.ch/~marcel/professional/Research_Team.html ) is organizing the second competition on face recognition during the 6th International Conference of Biometrics (ICB 2013 http://atvs.ii.uam.es/icb2013/ ) to
be held in Madrid, Spain on June 4-7, 2013. Researchers in biometrics
are highly invited to participate in this competition. This will help
them to evaluate the progress made in the last couple of years.The
competition will be carried out on the MOBIO database. MOBIO is a
challenging bimodal (face/speaker) database recorded from 152 people.
The database has a female-male ratio of nearly 1:2 (52 females and 100
males) and was collected from August 2008 until July 2010 in six
different sites from five different countries. The images provided by
the database were captured with cameras of mobile phones and a laptop
computer.
